An update:1999 & 2000 are now posted, complete.2001 & 2002 are coming soon.2003 is mostly coming soon, except for one issue.2004 is missing Sept/Oct, but otherwise complete.2005 - present is posted and complete.

I have a complete set of all newsletters which I was intending to reproduce into three books. I think the forum e newsletter is a better solution. - What do we need to complete the project - I will send them off to Dave for scanning.

I am pleased to announce that the Newsletter project is completed! There is now a digital archive available of all known Newsletters from 1989 to the present day. Please join me in thanking John, Dave, and Allan for making this treasure available for all members to enjoy.

Having all of this information easily available will make it much easier for historians in years to come – and provide hours of interesting reading for new members.

For me, reading about the work that has gone into reopening the WW&F, especially in the early years, serves to point up the parallels with how we got the Ffestiniog reopened in the mid-1950s. The same basic outlook: 'There must be a way round any difficulty if you only look hard enough'. The same scrounging of materials and equipment – and the same donation of professional and other services by sympathetic supporters. It still goes on on the FR/WHR even now that we have a turnover of several million pounds a year.
